![]() Tiny turrets, wee windows, and other elements add charm and authenticity. can be found within the model, which took "just under 200 hours" to come together (both the design phase and the actual build). As for what it took to build a tribute to the mega, many-room'd abode?ħ,500+ BRICKS. ![]() It's a LEGO tribute to the massive structure, and while it won't be displayed at the house, it will be found at the LEGOLAND Discovery Center Bay Area, which is slated to open in April. Devotees of the date can look forward to the newly rescheduled Flashlight Tours, which will now happen in the middle of May, and another offbeat treat, an ode to the Winchester Mystery House that will appear elsewhere (and not at the San Jose landmark). ahead of its Friday the 13th celebration on March 13, 2020, in the wake of the coronavirus. And the Friday the 13th Flashlight Tours? Another must-do for mavens of the rambling mansion. Sarah Winchester, the legendary lady of the house back in the day, liked the number 13, and the historic bell on her property is rung 13 times each Friday the 13th (at 1 p.m., or 13:00, if you prefer). It's Friday the 13th, which, of course, doesn't occur every month, but rather once or twice a year (though, yes, 2015 had three of 'em). The video in the little museum was actually more informative than what I learned on the $30 tour.THE WINCHESTER MYSTERY HOUSE? It has a holiday of its own, an eerie occasion that many fans look forward to, when that occasion comes around. There is a small Winchester museum so you can see some of the guns. ![]() The house in itself is incredibly interesting and it is huge and really fun to look through. I really didn't like that aspect of it, it took a lot away from me enjoying the tour and being able to enjoy the house in my own way. The tour guide was frustrating because he kept yelling the number for the room when I was trying to listen to the audio recording. I thought that was incredibly stupid - it should either be an audio tour with the little electronic thing or a tour guide leads you through the house and explains everything to you, not both. My other complaint is the way the tour is constructed, it's a guided audio tour - meaning you have the little audio things that tell you everything about the room but there is also an employee who walks you around in a group and says which number to push in each room. ![]() That's the most expensive tour I've ever personally done. Using restroom and satisfy your eating/drinking needs before the tour is a wise idea. You have to stay with the group, or ask guide for an individual escort. Be aware that there are no exit/short cuts back to the gift shop. Therefore the total time of the tour is more like 80-90 minutes. The tour starts very slow ~ everybody has to pose for a rifle picture, and test audio equipment. Remember, the house is a complex maze for purpose so any visitor or ghost can loose its way in a minute (max). It is a group audio tour with a guide so nobody gets lost. For that I will give “F” to their customer service. We get a very little info prior the tour, and stayed in long lane untill the ticketing lady finished her private conversation (five minutes!). I you are not exited by the story, the saving from not going on the tour is good. But seeing is believe so from that point of view it was worth $30.00 an entry. The story is funny, freaky, amazing and impossible to believe. Winchester, who was trying to confuse the ghosts by rapidly overbuilding, expending and constantly remodeling her villa. We visited the Mystery House because of the story of Mrs.
